    <outline type="rss"  title="&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;Dogs are surprisingly complex creatures.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  In the USA and Europe alone there is an estimated amount of eight  hundred breeds. It's true that sometimes it is difficult to see the  difference between similar breeds, but this variety is still surprising  when compared to humans. We humans can be divided may be in about 12  different 'breeds'. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  The predecessor of the domestic dog is the wolf. Dogs began their  domestication some 10,000 years ago. From an evolutionary point of view  that is a short time frame and so it is not surprising that between  breeds, some behaviors are very similar. Next I go in to 2 of those  traits.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  A Dog is a predator:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Of course this doesn't mean that your dog will hunt down every animal  that passes by, but it is very much part of their instinct. They have  very well developed ears and they can hear much better than humans.  They are very good at distinguishing a wide array of sounds and can  locate it very accurately.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  A dog can see much better than a human. They have a much wider field of  vision which is estimated to be at 270 degrees. Humans have a maximum  angle of only 150 degrees. So dogs are much better at instantly  scanning terrain.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  And, of course, they're famous for their sense of smell. They have 25  times more scent-receptor cells and they are able to perceive scents a  100 million times smaller than humans.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  For instance, Golden Retrievers are able to smell a gopher in the  winter through a yard thick layer of snow and earth. Once picked up the  smell of the gopher they'll try to dig a hole in order to capture the  animal. That's typical behavior of a predator.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Another thing they have in common is that they are social animals.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Dogs need to be around other dogs and humans. That is the reason we  like them so much in the first place. However still many owners think  that dogs can be on their own for longer periods of time. Many a dog is  on it his own for the whole day when everybody is out working. These  long periods of social isolation can lead to alterations in his  behavior, like aggression and anxiety. If you can't be with your dog,  think about how he can stay in contact with others, like hiring a dog  walker for example.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Isolating a dog for brief periods can be a useful training technique.  Expulsion from the pack is an effective way of letting the dog know  when he was behaving improperly. He should never be expelled for more  than 5 minutes.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Excessive time extent of social interaction with another dog, human, or  even a friendly cat harms the dog's psychology and leads to unwanted  behavior. Even guard dogs should be able to distinguish between  external 'threats' and members of their own 'pack'.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;font-style: italic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  			About the Author:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  			&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;Author Daniel Varena helps people to train their dog and on his website i-&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.i-perros.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;perros&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.com you can read a lot more articles.
